Indore Dialing Instructions

To make an international telephone call to Indore, India from any country worldwide, please follow the dialing procedure shown below.

Please note that India landline and mobile phones are on different numbering systems. The key difference is that landline numbers require an area code while mobile numbers do not. This can create some confusion. It also means the dialing steps are somewhat different depending on whether you are dialing an Indore landline phone or dialing an Indore mobile phone.

Steps to Dial Indore, India from Any Country

Follow this basic dialing procedure to place an international long-distance call from any country worldwide to a landline or mobile phone number in Indore, Uttar Pradesh, India.

The procedure outlined below is applicable to direct international dialing from a landline or mobile phone in the home or office. Dialing procedures may differ when using a calling card or a VoIP internet calling service.

1. Dial international access code / IDD: ddd

Note that some mobile operators do not require dialing an IDD for certain calls and/or allow use of substitute characters (such as '+') in lieu of dialing an IDD. As well, in many cases you don't dial an IDD when using a calling card or VoIP service.

2. Dial India country code: 91

Dial country code +91 to reach any location in India. Country codes are also known as ISDs or international subscriber dialing codes.

If your Indore phone number starts with a '0' - e.g., 0731 454 8180, delete the '0'. The '0' is a national direct dial (NDD) code and is used only for calls within India.

4. Determine if calling to landline or mobile phone

Landline and mobile phone numbers are slightly different in Indore, as elsewhere in India. All India numbers are 10-digits, but landline numbers are 7-digits and require a separate 3-digit area code. Mobile numbers are 10-digits and do not require the area code. All mobile numbers start with a '9'.

If you have a 10-digit phone number, then you are ready to continue dialing. If your number doesn't have 10-digits, you may need to add on the Indore area code.

Dialing Tips

If you are in an office or building with a main switchboard or PBX, make sure you have a live outside line by dialing '9' or similar

Some mobile carriers provide shortcuts for making international calls - generally, by changing if or how an IDD is dialed. E.g., In the US, t-mobile allows you to dial a '+' instead of an IDD when calling international numbers.
